What Is WAA ?

    We - SAO BIEN LOGISTICS CO., LTD - have just become the 133 th member of WAA since 25 May 2015.  On the one hand, this is one of the best keys for us to enter the international logistics market. On the other hand, we also have many challenges to overcome.

      WAA is the acronym of WORLDWIDE AIR & OCEAN ALLIANCE, established in 2010 with headquarters in Lima, Peru. Especically, this alliance is the first Peruvian international network in the area of ​​global alliances for cargo agents and have founding members in South America to act as part of the network board. Also, they have regional coordinators in all five continents: America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. (Source: www.worldwide-airocean-alliance.com)

     WAA will act in 170 countries, 340 ports, 420 airports, 510 cities and much more. Especially, WAA only accepts one exclusive partner per city in the world and we are the only partner in Hai Phong. Besides, being a member of this alliance will help all members in general and us in particular expand companies bigger, become more secure and have more business developed in this current competition world. 

     WAA has serviced in full areas: Air, sea, consolidated, RO/RO Break Bulk, Isotanks, Flexitanks, projects cargo, customs, internal transport, storage, distribution, and others. This alliance has many strict standards and always finds out appropriate solutions to solve problems as well as disputes fairly when they occurs. Furthermore, WAA organizes many global business meetings where forwarders can meet and exchange information with other partners. Also, they create many chances for members to have negotiations with the third parties and entitle members to use WAA's logo in ther business.

      Despite many WWA's benefits, logistics is still the new business in Vietnam and obviously we meet many troubles. We  just implement internal logistics business and have little international experience. Not only our law systems are complicating, but also our country does not have strong competitions in this logistics specially. Hence, joining in WAA help us - SAO BIEN LOGISTICS CO., LTD - in particular and logistics reach a great deal of competitors and learn a lot of lessons.
